Rwanda’s foreign minister on Saturday accused Western governments of using aid to treat African states like children, after two countries cut cash to Kigali because of its policy in Congo.

The United States has blocked $200,000 in military aid to the central African nation and the Netherlands suspended 5 million euros of aid after a United Nations interim report said Rwanda was backing rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
